Lyrics for Dance, Dance as interpreted by AllStarMe

Dance, Dance Lyrics
She says she's no good
With words, but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
A joke of a romantic
Or stuck to my tongue

Weighed down with words
Too overdramatic
Tonight it's "It can't get much worse"
Vs. "No one should ever feel like"

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget
How your voice sounds
These words are all I have
So I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

Dance, dance
We're falling apart to halftime
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

You always fold just
Before you're found out
Drink up, it's last call, last resort
But only the first mistake

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget
How your voice sounds
These words are all I have
So I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

Why don't you show me
A little bit of spine
You've been saving
For his mattress, love?

Dance, dance
We're falling apart to halftime
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Why don't you show me
A little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress?
I only want sympathy
In the form of you
Crawling into bed with me

Dance, dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
(Way they'd love)
Dance, this is the way they'd love
(Way they'd love)
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance

I love this song

She says she's no good with words but I’m worse
Barely stuttered out
A joke of a romantic or stuck to my tongue
And weighed down with words too overdramatic
Tonight it's "it cant get much worse"
Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."

I’m two quarters and a heart down
And I don’t want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I write them
I need them just to get by
We will own the thoughts
We'll own the songs stuck in your head
We'll leave you kicking and screaming so you can thank us in the end

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance this is the way they know
If they knew how misery loved me

(I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me, crawling into be with me)

You always fold just before you bow out
Drink up its last call
Last resort
But only the first mistake and I...

I’m two quarters and a heart down
And I don’t want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all i have so I write them
I need them just to get by

Why don't you show me a little bit of spunk
You can save it for his mattress (with love)

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance this is the way they know
If they knew how misery loved me

Why don't you show me a little bit of spunk
You can save it for his mattress
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me

i think this songs about a girl leaving a guy and hes saying how he will still be stuck in her head, and he will linger in her thoughts, and how he knows her so well and he only wants her back

These are the lyrics for the Demo Version...
The Album Version cuts out:

"We will own your thoughts
We'll own the songs stuck in your head
We'll leave you kicking and screaming
So you can thank us in the end"

Awesome song nonetheless...

I love this song. It's completely different than a lot of their other songs, and it's done so well. I like how he's singing in a different tone than usually. The deeper sound is great in this track.

she says she's no good
with words but i am worse
barely stuttered out
a joke of a romantic
stuck to my tongue
weighed down with words
too overdramatic
tonight it's it can't get much worse
vs. no one should ever feel like

i’m two quarters and a heart down
and i don’t want to forget
how your voice sounds
these words are all i have
so i write them
so you need them just to get by
we will own your thoughts
we'll own the songs stuck in your head
we'll leave you kicking and screaming
so you can thank us in the end

you always fold just
before you bow out
drink up its last call
last resort
but only the first mistake

i’m two quarters and a heart down
and i don’t want to forget
how your voice sounds
these words are all i have
so i write them
so you need them just to get by
[sortof like echo-ish in the backround]
we will own your thoughts
we'll own the songs stuck in your head

my corrections, just pasted all the lyrics.

She said she\'s no good with words but I’m worse
Barely stuttered out a joke of a romantic
Stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too overdramatic
Tonight it\'s \"It cant get much worse\"
But it\'s \"No one should ever feel like..\"

I’m two quarters and a heart down
And I don’t want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I write them
So you need them just to get by

Dance, dance
We\'re falling apart to half time
Dance, dance
And these are the lies you love to lead
Dance this is the way they\'d love
If they knew how misery loved me

You always fold just before you\'re found out
Drink up it\'s last call, last resort
But only the first mistake and I...

I’m two quarters and a heart down
And I don’t want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I write them
So you need them just to get by

Why don\'t you show me a little bit of spunk
You\'ve been saving for his mattress

Dance, dance
We\'re falling apart to half time

Crawling into bed with me

I *love* this song. It's fast-paced and seductive, different than most of their other songs on this album. And the lyrics booklet says "Why don't you show me the little bit of spine you've been saving for his mattress, love / I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me" (really sexy verse by the way)

Im not sure either and i really dont care..its just a great song. How many times can u guys mess up the lyrics...i would correct the whole thing but i dont have enough time...but the one u keep messing up is:

why don't you show me
a little bit of spine
youve been saving for his mattress,love

then the second time it like this:

why don't you show me
a little bit of spine
youve been saving for his mattress
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me

I like the big at the beginning, where there's just the drums and the bass (I think >_< I can't guarantee it's not just a low guitar... lol) before the singing. Oh, and yeah, it reminds me of Brand New a little. Not overly, though. Sometimes Brand New and Taking Back Sunday sound so similar it drives me mad, though...
